You groaned as you felt a soft fabric pressed up against the side of your cheek. Your eyes shot over to the fabric. It was Sans' jacket. You must've been cold during the night. You rolled out of bed and searched for something comfortable to wear. Before you could approach your closet, something red in the corner of your eye caught your attention.
You wandered over to the package and pick it up. It was a heart shaped box, with a small note clipped to the side.
'Hey sweetheart, happy Valentine's Day. Hope you enjoy this day as much as I will. Go downstairs into the place where we almost set the room ablaze. Love you doll, I'll be waiting at the end <3'
Your heart fluttered. He planned this all for you? You and Sans had been dating for a couple of months, yet you didn't take him for someone to plan a grand romantic gesture. You smiled, and opened the package. Inside were your favourite chocolates. The sweet aroma travelled through your nose. You picked one up and ate it, savouring the taste.
You then remembered back to the note. Set the room ablaze? The kitchen. It had to be. Papyrus, his younger brother, had accidentally burnt the kitchen down on numerous occasions when he had come to visit with his 'infamous' lasagna. You quickly run to your closet and put on a soft f/c sweater and black jeans. You ran to the kitchen and surprisingly found Papyrus hunched over in a chair.
"Uh.. Papyrus?" You called out to the skeleton, capturing his attention. The said skeleton glared at you, fixing his posture. "THANK GOD. YOU CERTAINLY TOOK YOUR TIME GETTING OUT OF BED THIS MORNING. YOU'RE PERFECT FOR MY LAZY BROTHER." He hissed.
You titled your head in curiosity. "How-how long have you been sitting there?" You asked. "SANS CALLED ME A FEW HOURS AGO TO HELP HIM OUT. BEING THE MERCIFUL BEING I AM, I ACCEPTED. HOWEVER, HE IS GOING TO REPAY ME!" Papyrus declared. You suppressed a laugh and nod your head.
"Alright! I assume this is a treasure hunt or something, so, do I get a clue?"
Papyrus rolled his eyes. "AREN'T YOU INTELLIGENT." He handed you a small note, followed by a f/f (favourite flower, lucky you). Your smile instantly widened at the sight of your favourite flower. It looked beautiful, and well preserved surprisingly.
You take both the flower and note and thank Papyrus, causing him to flush. "W-WHATEVER. NOW HURRY UP AND READ THE NOTE SO I CAN LEAVE!" He groaned. You giggled, and read the note.
'Guess that clue was really obvious, huh? Of course, you figured it out. You never fail to set my heart on fire. Anyways, come to the place where we had our first date. Another surprise is waiting for you. See you soon'
First date? You doubt he's talking about the underground. The underground wasn't the best place for Sans, he definitely wouldn't want to spend your first Valentine's Day together down there. He must mean on the surface. The first place you both went to was Grillby's.
How'd he manage to convince Grillby to be apart of this? Must've paid off his tab for him to have agreed to this.
"Thank you Papyrus! I appreciate you doing this!" You smiled. Papyrus once more flushed, nodding his skull hysterically. "Y-YEAH YEAH... JUST, GO!" He ordered. You waved and walked off.
*Time skip*
You approached the bar, smoke and light practically pouring from the front door. It smelled of grease and burnt food. It comforted you. It reminded you of Sans. You pushed the doors open, revealing the small bar that had become very familiar with in the past months.
Grillby appeared to be a cold, rude monster, his cold glare would instantly give you weird vibes. However, he actually was really nice. When Sans wasn't being an ass to him. He was kind to you, sometimes offered you a free meal, much to Sans' disappointment.
You walked towards the fire monster, and laughed. Grillby's gaze fluttered over to you, and rolled his eyes. "So, what'd he have to do for you to help out?" You asked.
Grillby clicked his tongue. "He promised me he'd 'pay his tab'. Pay my tab my ass."
You laughed. "One day he'll pay it off. Maybe."
Grillby shot you an unamused glare. "Comforting. Anyways, here." He said, turning his back to you to get something from the counter behind him. He turns around with a note and a package in hand. He placed it in front of you, gesturing for you to sit down.
You picked up the present and shook it gently. What was it? It felt heavy and thick. You ran your fingers along the edges of the package. It felt like a book. You tore open the packaging and stared at the book. It looked like a photo album. You flipped the cover to the first page. The first photo was of you and Sans, when you had made it on the surface. He looked so happy, you looked so happy.
You spent the next few minutes flipping through the pages of the book. "Hey, can ya not cry a river in 'ere? At least do it discreetly.." Grillby cut in, rolling his eyes.
You hadn't even noticed you were crying. You wiped your eyes. "Ah - sorry. I'll get going after I read the note!" You pick up the note.
'Hope you like this present. You've helped me while I was enduring all of my hardships, and for that I'll always be grateful. here are some of my favourite photos I have of you. of course, every photo of you is my favourite. next, meet at the cinema, there are two nerdy freaks waiting there for you. love you sweet cheeks, you're getting close <3'
Two nerdy freaks? Alphys and Undyne you assumed. This by far had to be your favourite gift. After you securely tucked the note in the book, you bid Grillby goodbye and walked to the cinema. You assumed he meant the cinema you regularly visited. You and your friends had sometimes gone there to watch films.
Once you arrived to the cinema, you instantly noticed one yellow figure and one blue figure leaning up against the building. Alphys was wearing a black dress spotted with white dots, her glasses pressed up against her forehead. Undyne wore her casual attire, yet she looked a lot calmer - friendlier? You walked up to the two.
"Hey guys! How're you guys doing?" You asked.
"F-finally you arrived." Alphys snarled. "W-we've been waiting h-here for a while. We e-even missed the first screening for the film I've b-been waiting to w-watch!"
You smiled apologetically.
"Well, whatever, at least you're finally here! Ya big nerd. Man, can't believe Sans' doing something like this. Never expected something like this from him!" Undyne roared with laughter at the thought. You nodded in agreement.
"Anyways, we won't keep ya waiting, you lovestruck dork~!" Undyne winked, causing you to flush. "This is what he gave us." She said, giving you a note and another package.
You smiled and opened the package. Inside was a plush of f/a (favourite animal, again lucky you). Your eyes brightened and you hugged it tightly. When you pulled away, you heard a soft, familiar voice. You looked around for the owner, however, you noticed it was coming out of the plush.
He implanted his voice in the bear?
Undyne suppressed a laugh. "I- Oh my stars... He's ridiculous.. It would be unfortunate if you broke up." She choked out.
Alphys huffed and elbowed Undyne. "What? I'm just sayin'.
You ignored the two and read the note.
'I know you love f/a, so I combined both of the things you love most. Whenever I'm not beside you, remember that I'll always be there for you in a heartbeat, I'll always be here to support you doll face. Your last destination will be at the site where I took you stargazing. Come find me'
Your heart fluttered, the tips of your ears and cheeks burning a crimson red. You finally get to see him. The idiot who had put so much thought, effort and detail into today. Stars, you loved him.
"Ooo, what'd it say??" Undyne asked, pouncing on your shoulder. You flinched at the sudden contact before exhaling.
"He wants to meet me up where we had one of our dates.." You muttered. Undyne batted her eyelashes childishly before adding "Wow, you both are so cute. If you were any sweeter, you'd make my teeth fall out of my stupid head."
You choked out a laugh, much to Alphys' disliking. She nudged Undyne in the ribs, this time shutting the fish up.
"Well? W-what are you w-waiting for? An invitation? H-hurry up a-and go meet h-him!" Alphys stuttered, waving her hands at you.
"Alright, thank you both so much! Enjoy your film, you two lover birds!" You added before sprinting off.
Both of the females burned bright red at the comment and quickly avoided eye contact.
As you walked off to the site, you looked at the presents in your arms. So far, you had received your favourite chocolate (you didn't take that with you, you didn't want it to melt.), your favourite flower, a photo album and now a plush of your favourite animal.
You smiled lightly. You remembered a few days prior, Sans seemed to be woking on something. Every time you'd ask, he'd brush your concerns off with:
"Nothin' ya need to worry your sweet lil head about, doll face..! Heh.."
"Sweetheart, 'can barely keep meh eyes open. What would I be plannin'?"
"You'll find out soon enough. Jus' wait a lil, will ya? Trust me, it'll be worth it, sweet cheeks."
Well, at least now you know what he was doing. You didn't think he was cheating, unlike so many cliche stories or films. You trusted him. You knew Sans better than that. He wouldn't cheat. He was a loyal partner. And so were you.
Once you had finally reached the site, the sun began to set. You didn't realise how late you had slept in until you had seen a few stars appearing in the sky. You must've woken up at around midday-ish. You'd hate to imagine how long Sans had been waiting here for. You look around the area for Sans, however he's not in sight.
'Did he leave? Did he get tired of waiting for me that he decided to leave..?' You frowned.
"Heya doll face, ya finally made it- HOLY FUCK SWEETHEART-"
Two arms had wrapped around your waist. You felt your heart face, you dropped your items and you twisted the arms of the intruders and held them behind their back. Once you had realised it was your boyfriend and not an attacker, you released him and apologised.
"I'm so sorry! I- don't do that! You scared me!" You glared.
"Ehehe.. Sorry sweetheart. Didn't mean to scare ya. But that was hot what ya just did, so I'm not complainin'." He said, shrugging his shoulders. You rolled your eyes and picked up your gifts.
"So, how'd you like what I did for ya today, sweet cheeks?" He asked. You smiled brightly. "I-I loved it... I didn't expect you to do something like this.. Thank you Sans. I appreciate it." Sans' skull was dusted with a crimson red blush. He waved his hand in front of his skull in an attempt to hide his blush.
"S-sure sweetheart. Anyways, 't's not over yet. Come 'ere." He held out a hand to you. You rolled your eyes playfully, but took his hand. He lead you to a patch of grass. There was a picnic blanket laid neatly across, followed by pillows, books, a telescope, and some packages you assumed to be chocolate.
You both sat down and started talking about your day. He explained how he had received a few weird and judgemental stares, yet they didn't bother him.
After, Sans showed you a few constellations from his book, and you both tried to spot them in the sky. You both ended up eating a few boxes of chocolates. Eventually, you drifted off to sleep, your head rested on his lap. He smiled at you. You had no idea how much he adored you. He traced his phalanges through your (h/l), (h/c) hair (if not, then he just rubbed your back!).
He gazed up to the stars with a gentle smile plastered on his skull. He reached his hand into his pocket to feel a box inside. Inside that box contained a ring. A small ring with a diamond that he had gotten from Waterfall, back when he was in the underground.
He had been planning to give you this ring for a few weeks now, he had planned all this out today. He was going to give you this present at the end of the night, but you looked so tired and relaxed in the position you were currently in.
He wasn't going to disrupt your sleep.
He'd just have to give you another night. Another night that will be just as memorable.
"...Heh.Love ya dollface, sleep well."
